'Wearing a turban for the first time in Mehr was not just a part of my role—it touched my soul,' Raj wrote. 'The weight of that dastaar came with a deep sense of responsibility and pride. Since that day, I’ve consciously chosen to always keep my hair covered and embrace Sikhi not just in appearance but as a way of life.'

Raj Kundra credited turban expert Inderpreet for helping him with the look and director Rakesh Mehta for bringing the character of Karamjeet Singh to life. He also praised costume designer Noor for blending elegance and authenticity in his on-screen presence.
